Cavity Wall Insulation
Insulating cavity walls is one of the most effective energy saving measures you can carry out in the home, helping to reduce your heat loss through the walls by up to 60%.
As a general rule for most houses built after 1930 the external walls are made of two layers with a small air gap or 'cavity' between them that can be filled.
How It Works
The cavity is injected with insulation via small drill holes from the outside of the wall. The insulating material acts as a barrier, preventing heat from escaping and also preventing the build-up of condensation, mould growth and damp forming on interior walls and ceilings.
The work will be guaranteed for 25 years by the Cavity Insulation Guarantee Agency (CIGA), the government endorsed guarantee scheme.

Solid Wall Insulation
Solid wall insualtion is generally suitable for properties built before the 1930s. Solid walls are made up of ‘solid brick’, therefore do not have a gap to fill with insulation, unlike ‘cavity’ walls. These walls are insulated in a different way to stop heat escape.

Loft insulation
Loft insulation helps to create an even temperature in your home keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Loft insulation keeps heat in like a blanket trapping heat rising from rooms below.
